Jet Cash explained why he gave OP those 10 merits.

...I've given him 5 merits for starting the thread, and I'll watch it to see if we can get some helpful and constructive comments to help all of us who are beginners in the world of mining,

[edit]
You got lucky - McDonalds disconnected me, switched channels, and then reconnected me. This was when I was awarding the merits, so you got a double quota.
...

Oh, he made an excuse, so there is no chance he might be lying, right?
[/sarcasm]

I'm not certain what stick got in your craw, but you just happened to pick a sweet gentleman in his golden years to take out your indignation on. If you actually reviewed Jet Cash's recent merit history, you will find that he normally gives posts between 1 to 5 merits. If you research his merit history, you will find that he gave this particular post 5 merits twice within 2 minutes of each other. The story given by Jet Cash is quite plausible.
Regarding the post itself, I agree that it is far from being Nobel Prize worthy. However, when theymos made it so an account had to have 1 merit to be a jr member, he gave many of us merit sources these instructions.

I recommend:
- If a newbie posts something that could be even called good, then give them 1 merit. It doesn't need to be a great post.
- It's best to use all of your source merit. If you don't naturally do so, try giving people more merit per post on average. If you don't send your source merit, then nobody gets it, but if you do send it, then the recipient can pass half of it on.

Thanks!

I am certain that Jet Cash is doing the best job that he can being a merit source.
